It's interesting, because some of the "big boys" stopped going GPS tags for a while. Then, all of a sudden, they're back. I have to laugh because a certain big name on YouTube recently did a trip into the California desert and was commenting on his video just how packed the place was...

This isn't an "overlanding" group that I can tell, but I really hate seeing these groups treat certain places this way. Go to the OHV parks. Anza isn't an OHV park (although many have turned it into that over the years). Regardless, if I see the word "takeover" - ugh. All that to say...

SO TRUE. They feel like it's a show and shine, or some sort of proving ground for the other bros. It's why the OHV parks should be where most folks belong (Cleghorn included). The last two times I was out in San Bernardino County, I saw less than a handful of people each day I was out. I...

I just said this to my wife last night as I was doing some "ioverlanding" on the computer, planning for next spring/summer. I told her that I was finding some really awesome off-the-beaten-path spots. Then corrected myself and said there's probably 500 other guys looking at the same spot at...

Went back and read this article, MOAK. I'm not sure I can agree with his premise. Even in the days of yore - long before any digital assistance (which he still doesn't use), my dad was all about maps, planning, establishing a route, back-ups, likely fuel stops, places to camp/rest, etc. Now...

Right. It's not enjoyable. Eating dust. Waiting your turn for a simple hill climb. And don't even mention stopping for a meal or camping overnight. Yikes. Besides, all it takes in that party is the one turkey that decides he's going to drive down the river embankment instead of across at...

Quoted the parts I wanted to discuss/agree/disagree with! I think you're right that there are too many of us, but I'm not talking about people on the planet - just people interested in this "sport" of "ours." Even in the 80's when I was able to ride in the front seat of my dad's old CJ5 as a...

There's a 300w Meterk (don't ask me who that is) that's only $167 (regularly $280). For the extra oomph, and the smaller amount of dough, I'm willing to give it a try.

Wow...two years. I think I need a RE-introduction. About a year ago, after fighting immensely with Fiat Chrysler on my Ecodiesel Grand Cherokee, I decided to offload it. As great as the diesel COULD have been, FCA and their infinite wisdom destroyed it. At least I got a minor payout and made...

Thanks Dan! LA County is big enough, so yeah, SoCal was broad. Kinda by design. I’m up in Pasadena. Close, yet far from you guys in the South Bay. Depends on traffic, huh! I’ll keep an eye out for the meet ups. Appreciate the heads up.

Thanks Chad. The Laredo is my fav also. My dad had a 69 CJ5 when I was growing up. So I had to relive my youth (and share with my own son) and by the CJ7!

We've had our son out camping since he was 10 months. Then, it was all about bring everything (including the kitchen sink). We had pack n plays, we had tubs for baths, we had it all. As he's gotten older (now almost 5), he doesn't need much but a place to sit and great food to eat. The wife...

Thanks for the message, Kent. I lived up in your area - Lake Tahoe - for about 20 years. Learned to drive out in the deserts of Nevada. Many years ago now, but great memories.

Cross-post from my intro thread in the new guy section - New guy from Southern California. Looking through some trips through Utah and Colorado in the relatively near future. Hoping to take the Rimrocker with my son and dad, and maybe some friends. Love getting out around SoCal, though, so...
